Omconfig Reconfiguring Virtual Disks

Description

Reconfigures a virtual disk to change the virtual disk’s RAID level or increase its size by either adding physical disks or using the available free space. On some controllers, you can also remove physical disks.

Syntax

omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=id vdisk=id raid=<c| r0| r1| r1c| r5| r6| r10> pdisk=< PDISK> [size=< size> vdcapacityexpansion=yes sizeinpercent=<1 to 100>] , where id is the controller ID and virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport command.
  • NOTE: To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage vdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the virtual disks attached to the controller.

Example to

Reconfigure virtual disk 4 to a size of 800 MB, use RAID-5 and physical disks 0 through 3 on connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the physical disks reside in enclosure 2.

Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA controllers

omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 size=800m pdisk=0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3

Example for SAS controllers

omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 pdisk=0:2:0,0:2:1,0:2:2,0:2:3

Example to

Increase the size of the virtual disk by 20 percent using the available free space, use RAID-5 and physical disks 0 through 3 on connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the physical disks reside in enclosure 2.

Example

omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 pdisk=0:2:0,0:2:1,0:2:2,0:2:3 vdcapacityexpansion=yes sizeinpercent=20
  • NOTE: vdcapacityexpansion parameter is supported only on PERC H700 and PERC H800 controllers. If you set vdcapacityexpansion=yes, specify sizeinpercent. If you do not set vdcapacityexpansion, specify size.
